IMPORTANT: Please be advised that Fredonia will upgrade the Banner student information system beginning close of business on Thursday, November 19, 2009. Students will be unable to use Banner web services and other online services including web payments and registration until the system upgrade is complete. We anticipate services will be available beginning Tuesday, November 24, 2009. 

Enhanced Electronic Services - we think you will like the new features! Through Your Connection you will still link to your secure personal electronic services provided by TouchNet. However, you will notice a new welcome page offering several new features. Besides the opportunity to pay your bill online, you will also be able to view all of your eBills, view payment history, sign up authorized users to pay your bill for you, and choose from Payment Plan options. Just follow the link and instructions... instead of standing in line, pay on-line! Check out the other features available while you are there, such as saving your payment profile and viewing your account activity. Support our efforts to save the environment and reduce costs by taking advantage of the user-friendly convenience and security of online billing and payment.

 Reminders:

 Your email@fredonia.edu address is your official email address - An official email address is assigned by SUNY Fredonia and it is your responsibility to access it for time-critical communications from university offices. This is the only email address we will use for any communication from our office.

 Don't forget! HOLDS are placed on student records where amounts or fines due to the university have not been paid. This means you will not be able to early-register for next semester or receive transcripts.

 Customer Service Evaluation forms are now available in our office. We value your opinion and hope that you will take a few moments to share your thoughts.

 

Spring Registration, Payment and Refund Schedule

  • Bills will be posted online at your secure TouchNet site for students registered by December 10 with charges and credits based on information available at the time. Any changes made after that date should be documented and accounted for. The due date for payment is January 15, 2010. If a student has financial aid that is more than the direct costs, the financial aid will be applied to the university charges first. Once the account is paid in full, refunds will be available. We anticipate that the majority of refunds will be issued to students by the first week in March. The first refunds available will be from bank loans-target date February 5, 2010.
